Compassionate and Professional Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a proven and effective approach for helping people manage panic attacks and panic disorder. In our work together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, physical sensations, and behaviours are connected and how this cycle can sometimes trigger or worsen panic.

You’ll learn practical tools to help you:

• Understand what’s happening during a panic attack so it feels less scary and more manageable.

• Challenge the scary thoughts that often come with panic (like “I’m going to faint” or “Something’s really wrong”) and replace them with more balanced, helpful thinking.

• Practice interoceptive exposure, where we safely bring on some of the physical feelings of panic in a controlled way. This helps your body learn that those sensations, like a racing heart or shortness of breath, aren’t dangerous.

• Gradually face situations you’ve been avoiding due to fear of having a panic attack. We’ll do this together, step by step, so you can rebuild confidence and freedom in your daily life.

CBT gives you tools to break the panic cycle and helps you feel more in control. You’re not alone in this; we’ll work through it together.

PTSD can develop after witnessing a traumatic event, particularly one that involves intense fear, helplessness, or horror. It’s common to feel upset or shaken after such experiences, but for some people, those feelings don’t fade; they can linger and make it hard to go on with everyday life.

PTSD can cause things like flashbacks, nightmares, constant feelings of danger, or difficulty feeling connected to others. You might also feel emotionally numb, anxious, or avoid situations that remind you of the trauma. These reactions are your brain and body’s way of trying to protect you, but they can also keep you stuck in the past, affecting your relationships, work, and overall well-being.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful approach that helps process distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact and allowing you to move forward.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) is a specialised form of therapy designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma and are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). If you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts or repetitive behaviours that feel distressing or out of control, you’re not alone, and there is real help available.

I use a form of CBT called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is the gold standard for OCD treatment. ERP helps you gradually face feared thoughts or situations without relying on compulsions, so your brain can learn that anxiety doesn’t have to dictate your behaviour.

OCD can show up in many ways, including fears about contamination, needing things to be “just right,” disturbing intrusive thoughts (such as fears of harming others), excessive checking, or needing constant reassurance. Whatever form it takes, we’ll work together to reduce the grip OCD has on your life and help you reconnect with what matters most, one step at a time, in a way that feels safe and supportive.

If you’re struggling with intense fear around a specific object, situation, or activity, CBT can help you understand and change the patterns that keep that fear going. Together, we’ll look at the thoughts and beliefs behind the fear, gently challenge them, and build new ways of thinking that feel more balanced and manageable.

A key part of CBT for phobias is gradual exposure, taking small, safe steps toward facing the thing you fear. This helps your brain and body learn that you can handle the situation without danger or panic. Over time, that overwhelming fear starts to lose its power, and your confidence grows.

You’ll never be pushed into anything you’re not ready for. We’ll move at your pace, and I’ll support you every step of the way. The goal is to help you feel freer, more in control, and able to live your life without fear calling the shots.

Health anxiety causes excessive worry about being seriously ill.

Those experiencing health anxiety may interpret normal physical sensations as symptoms of illnesses like cancer and heart disease, leading them to believe they “must” be sick. This results in behaviours such as checking for more symptoms, researching illnesses, and constantly monitoring their bodies.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps challenge these unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours like reassurance seeking and avoidance. In our work together we will focus on challenging unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, and gradually changing your behaviours (the checking, reassurance seeking, avoidance etc). This will help you discover that it is anxiety and worry about your health that makes you feel the way you do, rather than having a serious illness.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a proven, effective approach for treating depression. It’s based on the idea that how we think affects how we feel and behave. When you’re feeling low, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and withdrawal, but CBT can help break that cycle.

In our work together, we’ll identify unhelpful thought patterns and learn practical strategies to challenge and change them. We’ll also work on re-engaging with meaningful activities, improving problem-solving skills, and building coping tools you can use long after therapy ends. CBT is structured, goal-focused, and tailored to your unique experiences, helping you feel more in control, connected, and hopeful again.

Low self-esteem can make daily life feel difficult. It’s common to get trapped in a cycle of negative self-talk and self-doubt, which can affect your relationships, work, and overall happiness.

In Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we will work together to identify and challenge these unhelpful thoughts that contribute to low self-esteem. Through CBT, you’ll learn practical skills to reframe negative beliefs about yourself, build healthier thinking patterns, and develop a more balanced, compassionate view of who you are. We’ll also focus on setting achievable goals and taking steps to build confidence in your abilities. With time and effort, CBT can help you break free from the cycle of self-criticism.

GAD often causes persistent, excessive worry about everyday things, even when there’s no immediate danger. This constant anxiety can make it hard to focus, relax, and enjoy life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective treatment for GAD that focuses on helping you understand and manage the thoughts that fuel your anxiety. In our work together, we’ll identify the patterns of thinking that lead to excessive worry and help you challenge those thoughts. You’ll learn techniques to break the cycle of rumination, reduce the fear of uncertainty, and develop healthier ways of thinking about everyday situations.

Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, is a mental health condition marked by a strong, persistent fear of being judged by others. This fear can disrupt work, and personal relationships, often starting in adolescence and affecting daily life if untreated.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is effective in managing social anxiety. In therapy, we will identify factors that contribute to your anxiety, such as self-focused attention and negative beliefs, and work to shift your focus outward and reduce reliance on safety behaviours.
